Getting that flipping "dong dong dong" sound again on my headphones. You used to get electronic devices that took rechargeable and changable AAA cells, you could even call them R03, UM-4, HP16, MN2400 - whatever you choose to call them, you could simply take them out and replace them with alkaline cells.
Now you can only buy devices you have to chuck away when the battery's worn out!

There's no chance of a vaccine for the common cold. I mean, come on! What a money earner for the pharm industry, every year?Derek27 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 09, 2021 4:35 amI socially distance meticulously, except for kissing my girlfriend who goes fuck knows where, and doesn't seem to have any regard for the lockdown.greenmark wrote: ↑Tue Feb 09, 2021 3:59 amI don't get colds.

Although it ain't easy. And along with inaccurate weather forecasts, shopping trolley behaviour, speeding in car parks and sily old buggers in supermarkets believing that a mask is a covid forcefield, my life is less than 1% as bad as someone in Africa, Syria or Yemen et al. 1st world problems eh!
When this covid issue is finally over, I think we should have a full and worldwide lockdown to kill the common cold. Whenever I've had a bad cold I've always wondered whether it's possible, but now we've got experience in lockdowns, social distancing and isolation...
And what about vaccines for the common cold, if they can compress 10 years of vaccine production into a few months? It may not kill but it makes me feel as though I'm dying.
I'd be willing to pay a lot for my dose. When I was last working for an employer I had a lot of days off when I had a cold, and a lot off days of when I didn't. And I had every Friday off because I felt I had enough for the week.greenmark wrote: ↑Tue Feb 09, 2021 5:11 amThere's no chance of a vaccine for the common cold. I mean, come on!

There must be a lot of lost revenue due to people unable to work with a really bad cold, plus the sheer misery of having snot constantly dripping off your nose - it should be the world's next priority.

There isn't always a silver bullet solution that requires zero effort and has no side effects. It's like saying there's a magic solution to instantly improve your fitness instead of doing exercise, to instantly increase your knowledge without studying or to buy a trading system strawberry strategy video pack course book and become profitable without losses the next day
LOL
I buy bags of sweets every week and rarely buy alcohol maybe I'm an oddity.
That was a joke Alex, about being the world's next prioity. Obviously it wouldn't be practical to put the whole world in lockdown. Besides, too many people won't believe the common cold exists and carry on spreading it.alexmr2 wrote: ↑Sun Feb 14, 2021 10:14 pmViruses are an essential part of life and needed to maintain our immune system, health and much more.Derek27 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 09, 2021 5:24 amI'd be willing to pay a lot for my dose.

I am ranting about having ranted the other day on the cricket thread and for doubting myself.
